Light snow will overspread Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeastMassachusetts between 4 AM and 7 AM. A band of moderate snow willlikely then develop between 7 AM and 10 AM along the immediatesouth coast and islands, then quickly moving offshore by middaywith dry weather to follow.

This band of moderate snow will likely result in snow accumulationsof 1-3 inches along the immediate south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including the islands. Given the timing and the cold airmass over the region roads will quickly become snow covered and impact the morning commute from Westerly to Newport to New Bedford to Cape Cod.

Farther north snow intensity will decrease with just light snow orflurries across the remainder of Connecticut, Rhode Island andMassachusetts, with little if any snow north of the Mass Pike.However there is some uncertainty how far north the accumulatingsnow shield will track. There is a low probability thataccumulating snow could reach Hartford to Providence to Plymouth.

Stay tuned to later forecasts for any possible changes.
